  • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Mix mashed potatoes, stuffing, eggs, Parmesan cheese, poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.
